These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.

"The moral of Niemöller’s poem, then, isn’t really 'speak up even if you aren’t in danger.' It’s 'speak up, even when the Nazis threaten marginalized groups that you yourself despise.' Fascists do take advantage of indifference and apathy to some degree. But they also build on widespread prejudice."

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

1,100 pieces against trans people in just 4 papers over 1 year. Almost 1 a day per paper. With absolutely no recourse at all. Is it any wonder that trans people are both angry and terrified?
Was actually wrong, I'm just two days away form having a full year's worth of stats.
It's going to come in at just under 1,100 articles about trans people in the Guardian, Times, Mail and Telegraph over that time, almost all attacks.
That's an ave of 3 a day every single day from just those papers

A lot of time was spent “debating” the angle of his arm, and “Roman” vs “Nazi” instead of any work being done to connect the dots for people on his very real, documented pattern of platforming neonazis, repeating of white supremacist “replacement” conspiracies and eugenics talking points

There's a vast gulf between trans and cis understanding of what it means for a trans sex worker to say she needed to sell sex to pay for surgery.
We read that the same as if a diabetic said they needed to sell sex to pay for insulin. Cis people still see our medical needs as frivolous, a choice.

Oh this does not seem to demonstrate the claim made. The only way you could think that is if you're prejudiced against the woman you're interviewing.
